“First Trip to Gulf Shores”

Left on 07/08/2015 for a stay in June 2015 | Ann CReviewed Jul 8, 2015Stayed Jun 2015

We absolutely loved our trip to the Gulf Shores. Friends recommended that we stay at San Carlos, and by chance, we booked unit 1608.

We knew nothing about the area, much less the accommodations before we arrived, but we were thrilled with our good luck! Honestly, when we walked into the unit, we were taken away by the spectacular view. Loved being on the 16th floor.

The condo itself was great for our family of six. (However, we would have booked a three bedroom if one had been available during our dates.) The kitchen was great, the living room was beautiful, and the master bedroom was gorgeous. We slept every night with the doors open to the ocean. We spent most of our time on the beach, but the rest of the time we were on the deck.

We only had a couple of complaints:
*Pull-out couch was bad to sleep on. The mattress was really poor. The four kids took turns sleeping on the couch and the guest bedroom. We needed the couch/sleeper to accommodate our family, but if you weren't going to use it as a bed, it was fine to sit on.
*The shower door didn't close in the master bath without someone from the outside hitting the bottom on it. Not a huge deal to us. We didn't even report it as an issue when we were staying there.

Young's were great to work with. Easy check-in and check-out. We were really sad to leave.

We were very happy to be in the San Carlos. Great location. Loved being in 1608 and will always remember it as being a part of our best vacation ever!

“Nice Stay”

Left on 09/12/2013 for a stay in August 2013 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Sep 12, 2013Stayed Aug 2013

The unit was really nice. It did need some updating, but overall was a good choice. The view was amazing! With ceiling-to-floor glass in the master bedroom and living room, you were able to take in an unlimited beachfront view.

The negatives:
The mattress in the master bedroom needed to be replaced.
No daily cleaning.

“the perfect vacation rental”

Left on 05/23/2013 for a stay in May 2013 | AndreaReviewed May 23, 2013Stayed May 2013

May 17-19, 2013 was our third trip to the Hangout Music Festival. It also marked probably my 10th or 11th vacation to Gulf Shores. By far, this was the best condo I've ever stayed in! Youngs Suncoast was wonderful to work with, and all problems with the unit were fixed almost immediately. Thank you for making our trip unforgettable!

“Wonderful experience”

Left on 04/18/2013 for a stay in April 2013 | PaulReviewed Apr 18, 2013Stayed Apr 2013

I can't say enough about San Carlos 1608. This was probably the nicest and cleanest vacation spot that I've ever stayed at. The beach was beautiful. The ocean view was spectacular. We slept with the doorwall open every night just to hear the ocean. The rooms are spacious and beds were very comfortable. The parking garage was very handy-elevator accessible and out of the direct sun. Grocery carts provided to assist in unloading and loading luggage from car. Great restaurants within a few miles. (I Recommend Doc's Seafood and Lamberts)
Renting this condo truly created a worry free vacation.

“Shrimp Fest 2010”

Left on 10/14/2010 for a stay in October 2010 | VickiReviewed Oct 14, 2010Stayed Oct 2010

We actually stayed in 1104. We had upgraded to 3BR/3Ba. It was great. Accomodations more than adequate for 3 couples. Location, when your are down for the Shrimp Festival, could not be better. We parked our car and did not get back in it until we left to come home.

“No Refund”

Left on 08/27/2010 for a stay in August 2010 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Aug 27, 2010Stayed Aug 2010

Due to the oil spill I was forced to cancel my stay which was associated with a wedding on the beach...I canceled my reservation 6+ weeks in advance yet they could not refund my deposit which was very disappointing. You would think there would be an expedited refund process associated with BP but I guess that is too much to ask for.

Your deposit was in fact refunded on the date of your cancelation. The only portion that was not refunded was the $89.00 non-refundable processing fee which is a standard practice not only for Young's Suncoast but most property management companies in the area. We apologize for an inconvenience.

“It was a comfortabel and relaxing stay.”

Left on 08/18/2010 for a stay in August 2010 | Cassandra CarterReviewed Aug 18, 2010Stayed Aug 2010

The resort was relaxing, clean and quite comfortable. We reserved the conference room that served the purpose of our trip.

“Well decorated and well stocked condo.”

Left on 04/23/2010 for a stay in April 2010 | Cary of MontgomeryReviewed Apr 23, 2010Stayed Apr 2010

San Carlos 1608 was one of the nicer condos in which we've stayed on the Gulf Coast. The furnishings were comfortable and clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The wet bar was a nice touch. Only complaint...no Golf Channel, but we got along fine without it.
